Following
is the list of the fatal casualties suffered by the Auckland Mounted
Rifles as published in the regiments official history "The Story of Two Campaigns" (1921 Wilson & Horton publishers):

The place
where the death occurred follows the number, name, and rank of the soldier;
then the date, then the cause where that information is known, and finally
the place of burial, where definite information is available on that
point. In the many cases where no reference is made to the place of
burial, it does not mean that the graves of the men have not been located.
It is believed that in a large number of cases the graves have been
located, but the final place of interment has not yet been reported.
The contractions used are fairly obvious. K. in A. means
killed in action ; D. of W. means died
of wounds; D. of D. means died of disease, fever
accounting for many deaths under this heading. Where the term Deceased
(C. of E.)  is used definite information as to the cause of death
has been lacking, Courts of Enquiry having found that death took place
on or about the dates mentioned. From the nature of the Gallipoli campaign,
in some actions of which units were cut down to mere handfuls of men,
many Courts of Enquiry were inevitable, although survivors had every
reason for believing that missing comrades were killed in action during
advances over broken and well-nigh impossible country. These lists do
not include the names of men who died after their discharge:

One of the many headstones in foreign lands. 9/662 Major Francis Morphet Twisleton M.C.
Auckland Mounted Rifles. who died of wounds 15th November 1917
resulting from the action at Ayun Kara, and buried at Ramela Cemetry.
